WHY THIS IS SO UNKNOWN!?
*cries

I like the ominous mood at the beginning. The synth at the beginning sounds really thin, but I like how the filtering gradually makes it sound richer. Nice job with the automations throughout this entire piece, actually. The drop at :45 is catchy, if minimal, although the sound design here is pretty generic, between the drum samples, plucked synths, and hardstyle mid-range basses. I think the composition is lacking for melodic content and variety, and elements of the arrangement and chord progression also seem pretty cliche. That said, the production quality is pretty strong overall, despite the texture being a little bass and reverb-heavy during the drops. This piece needs a more creative and climactic section at the end to hit it home more, though. The unoriginal and underwhelming composition here is my main concern. You’re clearly a talented producer with some cool samples and a good sense of rhythm and atmosphere. But the breadth of compositional skills needed for this competition also include melody writing, advanced ways of creating variety, and more creative arrangements and progressions. Keep at it, No1seFactory! :)
